EOL Firmware support for WiNG APs and Controllers

[Gary_Hartstone]

Hi,
Ever since 5.8.5.0-016R there have been EOL notes included in the WiNG release notes that say support has ended and no further images will be released for certain older APs.

I still have some customers with older RFS4000/RFS6000 controllers and AP621s/AP650s.

These still appear to have all the required AP firmware included with the bundled controller firmware, even up to the latest 5.9.1 release.

Can you please advise if/when the firmware support for these APs will actually stop?

Thanks
Gary

RFS 4011, NX 9000, NX45XX and NX65XX platforms are EOL and support has ended. No new images will be released or supported for those platforms.
Dependent AP platforms – AP 621, 622 are EOL and support has ended. No new images will be released or supported for those platforms.
AP 7181 is EOL and support has ended. No new images will be released or supported for this platform.

Hello Gary,

The engineer team will provide fixed on 5.8.6 and 5.9.1 release.

For AP621/AP622, the best replacement is 7622/7632
For RFS4000/RFS6000, the best replacement is VX9000/NX5500

Best regards,

My pleasure Gary......

Thanks Christopher,
I thought that was going to be the case regarding engineering support for the newer code.
Thanks for confirming it for me.
